Heaven and earth meets, my Muslim friends

The Qur'an promotes that only God can be in heaven and on earth at the same time, saying:  "He is God in the heavens and the earth." (Cattle 3) No creature can have exclusive of God except the almighty God. Therefore, it is true that no one can be in heavens and earth, at the same time, but God.
However, the Lord Jesus Christ came to make great wonders and miracles to prove His deity and to support His claim that He is the omnipotent and omnipresent God who is in heaven and on earth, at the same time.
The Gospel explains that Christ came down from heaven to earth through a divine, virgin birth. Also, the Qur'an points out that Christ's birth was unique, distinguishing Him from all other men and prophets without exception. If Christ was a mere human being, it would become necessary that His birth be a congenital, sexual birth, from a human father, like the rest of all the humans. But Christ, who made the world, did not need the agent of the human father to be born into the world (Mary 16-34). Also, all the Muslim scholars unanimously agreed that Christ alone is infallible. El-Bulhary said quoting the prophet of Islam: "Satan pokes with his finger the side of every human, at his birth; except Jesus the son of Mary, when he went to poke Him, he poked the curtain, instead." Of all humans, why was only Jesus singled out and given this unique exception in Islam? Had He not been the Almighty God, who came down voluntarily to our world, without the congenital birth, He would not have been given that sole exception. It is evident that it was not befitting God to be born in the natural human way, after the manner of men, which is summed up by David the prophet, saying: "Behold I was sharpened in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."
This is another reason for the Muslims to inquire as to why He could forbid Satan from poking Him. No matter how you study this subject, you will find that Jesus is the most High God who came down from heaven to earth, at the very time time He was in heaven.


John 3:9-15

 

“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
